A healthcare organization is implementing its data retention policy, which requires that patient electronic health records (EHR) be securely deleted seven years after the patient's last interaction. Which technical controls are ESSENTIAL to enforce this policy effectively? (Select TWO).
A social media company is planning to launch a new feature that uses machine learning to analyze user-uploaded photos and automatically suggest tags based on detected objects, faces, and locations.

A telehealth provider, 'CareConnect', is developing a new mobile application for remote patient monitoring. The application will collect real-time biometric data (heart rate, blood oxygen) from wearable IoT devices, patient-reported symptoms via a chatbot, and video consultation recordings. CareConnect's primary goals are to ensure patient trust, comply with HIPAA and GDPR, and implement robust Privacy by Design principles. The proposed architecture involves the mobile app sending all data directly to a monolithic backend application hosted in a public cloud. This backend processes the data, stores it in a single large database, and serves it to healthcare providers through a web portal. The CISO has raised concerns that this design creates significant privacy risks and lacks necessary controls for data segregation and minimization. As the lead privacy engineer, you are tasked with redesigning the architecture to address these concerns. Which of the following architectural approaches BEST integrates Privacy by Design principles for the CareConnect application?
